Below are various stages in my healing from surgery. It is not my intent to shock or disgust anyone, nor expose myself. What I am trying to do is show the healing process, let other women see what is to be expected so they can better be prepared. Only a woman can understand how devastating this is to our feminity. Perhaps sharing my experience and seeing the worst through healing will help another woman cope and be prepared to deal with this traumatic experience. What you are seeing is two weeks after surgery. The staples are out. The wound has been debrided of all dead tissue. You can see a cavern that has to be irrigated twice a day. This will slowly heal from inside out closing the gap. Also remember each woman is different in size, shape and in healing. I am a diabetic so my healing will be slower.
